RobinJI Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) Beasty iolo you have there.......Tried her for dirt jumps yet? Not yet, there all to wet . Tryed some street stuff on it and have out done mates on jump bikes with stair drops and random wooden jumps over pavements ect.. heheIt weighs in at 26lb with a maggie on it. So its actualy not too bad weight.I know I need to sort ou the rear tyre, the Moto RT is actualy really nice though. Looking for a Maxxis High roller 2.5 but can only find the 2.7s.Edit: before anyone mentions it, the red break lever was 2nd hand and is going for a black one at X-mas...

future orange 660 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i think they look ok just the wrong colour.and as for the underside brake mounting. what advantage does that have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 and as for the underside brake mounting. what advantage does that have? Erm.. Mechanically, no advantage or disadvantage. But it does look cool and didn't cost any extra .(Well, it looks cool with a Maggie on there, keeps the frame looking very clean and understated with the graphics, colour, internal hose and break mounts there.)Just put the maggie back on with some shiny new Echo mounts, but with no pads or fluid in it I can't exactly use it yet. As for the forks, they were just cheepos to pass the time until Iolo starts making forks. But there doing pretty well and I cant see the sense in replacing em while there still intact and feel pretty nice. They might turn gloss black sometime though... All by themselves...'cause they can do that.....really...they can.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 um, the forks look fine, whats wrong with you people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The forks do look alright, but they would look much nicer if they were the same sort of finish as the frame, but black. Sort of shot blasted then anodised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
